The Pine Leaf Boys

The Pine Leaf Boys present their own inimitable brand of traditional Cajun and Creole music with youthful exuberance. Described as "the link that connects the young and the old generations," and, "the best new, energetic, and fun Cajun band in a very long time," the Pine Leaf Boys play the dance hall standards, as well making a point to bring many of the more obscure songs of past masters into their repertoire and playing them with gusto.

Skillful multi-instrumentalists, it’s not uncommon to see them switch and trade-off during their raucous shows. All five members, in their early 20s, Wilson Savoy, Cedric Watson, Jon Bertrand, Drew Simon, and Blake Miller live in Lafayette. Steeped in music since children and hailing from farms and villages in Cajun country the Pine Leaf Boys have been preserving the traditional Cajun sound, while allowing it to breathe and and stretch with those who play it. They present their music in multiple configurations such a twin fiddle, duo accordion/fiddle, bass, drum, and even stomping jurés.
